Written by Mike Gorrell

Year by Year at Judge - Our Living History, was researched and written by Mike Gorrell, 1972 Judge Memorial alum and award-winning journalist who spent more than 44 years in the newspaper business, including the last 35 at The Salt Lake Tribune. A former teacher, John "Sonny" Tangaro, recruited Gorrell to help the Alumni Committee plan the school's Centennial Celebration. This project is his contribution, recapping what Judge Memorial's 12,000-plus graduates accomplished in their time as Bulldogs.
